What We Do

• Establish primary school libraries

• Provide teacher training

• Support families so their children are not forced to drop out of school

How We Do It

• Partner with local education departments, rural communities and book publishers

• Our professional Reading and Literacy Educators run training sessions

• Provide scholarships to cover costs for a child's education, including school fees, uniform, school bag and school supplies.

Why We Do It

• Education is a fundamental human right: Every child is entitled to it. (UNICEF)

• Literacy is the foundation to an education; children must have access to age-appropriate children's books to improve their reading skill

• Education empowers people to improve their own lives, support their families and break the cycle of poverty

Our Impact So Far

As of November 2011, we have established 5 primary school libraries, delivered over 17,500 children's books, granted 38 scholarships, trained 60 teachers; over 2,230 children now have access to a functional school library in the Philippines.
